Hi, I was wondering if anyone could pass on some much needed help.

Evening - I went to turn on the megger today and was instantly met with a battery flashing symbol and it turned off. So I replaced the batteries with 1.5V Alkaline batteries that were new and the same thing happened! Before I loose it for a week to get repaired has anyone else experienced this?
I'm presently in a rental situation. It's a single family home that's been converted into multiple units. Each floor is on its own panel with its own meter. There are three panels total and each is a 16 breaker GE box.
The panel I am concerned with is supposed to be running a 240v to the dryer...
Not a great fan but have had to use it recently to fill gaps before trimming.
It seems as if the heat is stopping it setting properly.

Rather than holding its shape the foam turns gloopy and runs.
Anybody else...

Hello all. I am having an issue with a 12V DC Relay I am trying to install to run a kill switch on a John Deere Diesel engine that runs a high pressure water pump. I have the relay wired in such that it will send power to the ignition when an electrical signal comes from a water sensor in the...

Hi all
I have just moved in and am in the process of adding some sockets. Am I right in saying that I can add to the circuit regardless of which type of circuit it is as the MCB is a 20a, obviously as long as I'm using 2.5mm t+e not speaker wire etc. I get the issues with RFC where 32a fuse...

Hi
I looked at a contactor schneider ict 4 pole 400v 25a. The fault was a loud knocking noise coming from the electricial riser cupboard.
I suspected one of the contactors was pulling in and out rapidly (this known as chattering?)
I am hoping you can point me in a direction as I'm not...
I recently had the house (3 bed semi) rewired and have come across some things that are causing me concern. I’ve made the Electricuan aware but have not yet had a proper response so I just want to get some alternative “expert” opinion.
Basically three issues.

On one of my sites, I have a 6 rising busbars ( E & I powerbar) rated at 250 A connecting a tap off box with a Schneider 100A isolator feeding a 3-phase board with 16mm SWA. I have around 24 tap off boxes onsite across 6 busbars and the installation is approximately 6 years old.

Hello All,
New Hive thermostat has been installed.
When you run the hot tap the boiler kicks in to produce hot water.
However when called to heat the rads it will not kick in to produce any heat.

Hello!
After years of renting I'm currently in the process of purchasing our first property. We've had an offer accepted on a 1 bedroom flat in Surrey. However there are questions over the electrics, and knowing little about electrical wiring I'm a bit stumped on how bad the electrics are and...
I've just moved into a new house which has some outside lights fitted in the back garden, none of which are working. There's a wall mounted junction box which I opened to see if the supply was ok. When I measured it it's getting 6V a.c. between live and earth, and nothing between live and...
We’ve just moved in to our new flat and the hob keeps tripping the RCD.
I’ve checked the cabling behind the oven and can see the following.
